Three suspects were arrested late Tuesday and early Wednesday on suspicion of homicide in connection with the fatal stabbing of Douglas Allen Anderson-Jordet in the early morning hours of Nov. 25.

Sophie Buttercup Rocheleau, 24, and Nicholas Benjamin Stoiber, 28, voluntarily turned themselves in to the Arcata Police Department on Tuesday night. The third suspect, Juan Joseph Ferrer, 35, was arrested at his residence in the 1000 block of Samoa Boulevard around 3 a.m. Wednesday. All three suspects are Arcata residents.

Anderson-Jordet, an Arcata resident originally from Minnesota, was beaten and then stabbed once in the heart after an altercation at 12th and H streets in Arcata. Police received a call at approximately 1:25 a.m. and found Anderson-Jordet lying unresponsive in the street. He was taken by ambulance to Mad River Community Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Arcata Police Chief Tom Chapman said a citizen tip helped them to identify the three suspects.

"We received a tip of an altercation occurring just prior to the call coming in of the stabbing," Chapman said. "With that information, we thought there was more than one person involved."

Chapman said they also obtained video footage from a local business near to where the reported altercation occurred. From the video, Chapman said they were able to identify the suspects.

A motive is under investigation, according to Chapman.

Anderson-Jordet moved to Arcata from St. Cloud, Minn., in the fall of 2012 to start a job as kitchen manager at Abruzzi, according to his friend and Abruzzi server Ben Dale.

Dale, who had previously worked with Anderson-Jordet at a restaurant in St. Cloud, said that Anderson-Jordet "fell in love" with Arcata after visiting a few years prior and took the open position.

"It was an opportunity for him to make a big change in his life," Dale said. "He could have moved anywhere in the world, but he really liked Arcata."

St. Cloud resident Pete Domeier, a close friend of Anderson-Jordet since they met in 1986, said the two kept in contact after he left for California.

"Everything he was telling us was good news," Domeier said. "He had made some really good friends."

Along with his skills as a chef, Domeier said Anderson-Jordet was also a "major influence" on the music scene in St. Cloud, where he and Domeier had played in several bands together.

"He was the most generous, funny, and talented person I've ever met," Domeier said. "He's going to be missed by a lot of people."
